EDUCATION

TERESA LATCHFORD AND AARON D’ANDREA Two elementary students are learning about calculating angles.

One student has read the textbook, listened to the teacher’s lesson, and is now completing the homework questions. Student two’s class has also raised funds to bring an engineer in to explain how angles are used to build bridges and for a field trip to Legoland to experiment with implementing the use of angles in model construction.

The question is, in a publicly-funded school system, are these two students receiving the same educational experience?

"It’s not an exaggeration to say fundraising can create have and have-not schools," People for Education executive director Annie Kidder told Metroland Media.

"There is no evidence that enriched learning has a direct impact on student test scores but it makes a big difference in a student’s overall learning experience."

The education advocacy group has been tracking school fundraising for years and has found an incredible range, with some schools reporting having raised nothing and others $400,000 in the span of one year. The same schools report spending the funds on everything from musical instruments to technology.

Ontario’s Ministry of Education defines fundraising as any activity permitted under a school board’s policy to raise money or other resources to enhance school programs or initiatives not covered by public funding.

Fundraising events must be approved by the school principal, in consultation with

Grade 12 students work independently during teacher Hugh Tran’s math class at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School last September. Metroland Media is looking into fundraising data at several school boards across Ontario. the parent council, and comply with policy. These dollars, also known as schoolgenerated funds, are administered by the school principal and per ministry guidelines.

Although samples of money raised school-byschool show signs of this disparate fundraising, boards don’t have - or are reluctant to provide - comprehensive lists of figures for each school across their footprints.

Approved uses for these funds include field trips, guest speakers, scholarships, extracurricular activities, events, schoolyard improvement projects, upgrades to sporting facilities, and more.

While the ministry prohibits fundraising for classroom learning materials and textbooks as well as facility renewal, maintenance, and upgrades funded through provincial grants, a report penned by People for Education states 47 per cent of ele-

"There is no evidence that enriched learning has a direct impact on student test scores but it makes a big difference in a student’s overall learning experience."

–Annie Kidder mentary schools have paid for such things with fundraising. Of those schools, 94 per cent raised funds for technology resources, 25 per cent for online resources, and 12 per cent for textbooks.

Parent Gary Sims fundraises for his children’s schools to provide them with opportunities for different programs that his generation didn’t have when growing up.

"We fundraise just to make it easier for them," he said. "You have to give every kid a chance."

Nahum Mann, a parent representative within the Toronto District School Board’s

Parent Involvement Advisory Committee, told Metroland Media fundraising strategies should be in place to help foster community involvement.

"If a community understands what a school is trying to do and how those students will achieve it and be effective, I think it brings a realness to it," he said. "The sooner you include the community, there’s more ownership felt."

Mann added that a strategy where funds are being brought in by businesses may be a more successful approach in certain communities rather than asking par-

ents for money.

"I think that is like at least a move toward equity," he said.

Kidder points out that while one school has a beautiful playground where students can explore physical activity through play, another school may not have had the ability to raise the funds to do the same.

"Our school system shouldn’t reflect the socioeconomic status of the area," she added. "Rather than creating a level playing field in the public education system, this could actually be creating a double disadvantage for students."

Students growing up in an affluent neighbourhood already have access to learning enrichment through lessons and sports outside of school, and that continues within the school since parents have the income to financially contribute to the school.

However, those in a less affluent neighbourhood may not have the opportunity for enrichment in the community or in the school.

Kidder isn’t suggesting school fundraising should be abolished, but rather the education ministry needs to further define what is required for core learning and what is considered enrichment.

"For example, in art class is a pencil a core tool and are pencil crayons enhanced tools?" she asked. "There are guidelines on how the funds can be spent but there are also loopholes."

Her solution? The creation of a ministry document with clearly-defined definitions and guidelines regarding school-generated funds that is a living document, reviewed and amended often as the school landscape and education needs evolve.

Fundraising facts for Toronto’s school boards

| York Guardian | Thursday, April 6, 2017

Signs of inequality in school fundraising

AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@insidetoronto.com Each school board is required by the Ontario government to include school-generated funds in its annual financial statements.

During the 2014/15 school year, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) generated close to $42.5 million in school-generated funds, while the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) raised $29.47 million.

In 2015/16, the TDSB gathered roughly $41 million in school-generated funds, and the TCDSB raised $29.18 million.

Close to 246,000 students attend the various 588 schools within the TDSB, and roughly 92,000 students make up the population within the TCDSB, which oversees 202 schools.

According to spokespeople with each board, school-by-school fundraising breakdowns couldn’t be provided unless a request was made under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Therefore, Metroland Media has filed a Freedom of Information request with each school board asking for a breakdown of every school’s fundraising records within its respective board.

ABOUT US

School fundraisers create inequality for students If you think all children in Ontario’s publicly funded schools have the same opportunities, think again.

This month’s Metroland special investigation into inequalities in school fundraising uncovered what could be the tip of the iceberg.

Beyond the formula created to disperse provincial funding to schools, the schools and the people and organizations supporting them locally raise millions every year.

Parents and community members put their money where their hearts are, and boost cash-strapped schools with fundraising.

At some schools it’s a penny fair in June and a bake sale or two, at other schools there are galas and bigticket raffles - all supported through the generosity of monied parents and grandparents.

In other area’s, there’s virtually no fundraising.

According to a 2014 report by nonprofit People for Education, the top 10 per cent of fundraising schools raise as much as the bottom 81 per cent - money spent on student excursions, playground equipment, technology, arts supplies and more.

It’s no surprise growing up with the privilege that comes with wealth opens doors to additional opportunity, however, Canadians expect equality in education.

But it’s a sham.

Underfunded schools need the leg up they get from community fundraisers - in one small northern school the extra money meant the girls’ basketball team didn’t have to wear the already sweaty pinnies the boys had just competed in anymore.

In another school it could mean technical and cultural enrichment for students whose family income has already given them a leg up.

In the end, it’s not fair.

What we have learned is disturbing, but perhaps more disturbing was the message we received from most of the schools and boards we approached for fundraising details: how much does each school raise in the community?

The boards aren’t willing to divulge how much money they’re getting from their parent committees and book sales unless they are compelled to do so by legislation.

A few individual schools opened their books and we salute them; most insisted we file a freedom of information request.

We have done so, but this is a bureaucratic process and it will take time, likely months. When we get the data, we will share it with you; we’ll let you know how much your child’s school is raising and compare it to how much other schools across the province collect from their communities.

Tory treads carefully around the bubble There’s a house beside a highway on-ramp in my North York neighbourhood that could be advertised as being "steps to tow trucks."

People with Texas plates bought it a year ago, renovated the front, and sold it the other week for $1.7 million, about twice what they paid.

There are almost no "bad" houses left in this city. Almost any residence can be sold, and fought over.

Two-bedroom condos are selling for what was, a few years ago, the price of a house.

And no government we have wants to do anything about it. Why would they?

Tax money keeps flowing in. Selling and fixing homes is the biggest thing

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto Toronto has.

We know it’s nuts. It’s entrenching the divide between Toronto’s haves and have-nots.

It’s jacking rents as owners of condos and houses pay off their investments.

Mayor John Tory met the city’s building and real estate and rental industries last week to show, he said, "a deep concern" for

those finding it difficult to live here.

He emerged, repeating there would be no "eureka" moment, no magic solution, no risky measures to imperil the gushers of money.

People in the room told Tory a price correction will come, because these things happen.

Speculators are part of the bubble, they said, but there’s no proof on who’s doing what.

A year ago, Tory dismissed a foreign-buyer tax on homes, saying Toronto isn’t Vancouver.

He’s now considering a Vancouver-style tax on vacant homes, "as in completely empty," to boost supply.

People say major bidding wars engineered by

agents drive prices up. The real estate people acknowledged the rules on that are "fairly weak." Talk to their regulator.

My brother is renting a North York house from a man in China who bought it a year ago.

Another brother was just outbid on a house by a company, not a person, in Bloor West Village.

Half the city is rich on paper, and half is either trapped in ancient rentcontrolled apartments or paying whatever rents the market will bear.

We haven’t talked enough about what this is doing to Toronto, or how to fix it. We should.

COMMUNITY

DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com Something beautiful is happening at Oakwood Collegiate Institute.

The community is working with the school and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to beautify the grounds, make them more useful for students and more accessible to neighbours.

An ad hoc landscaping committee comprised of school and board staff and students, community members, trustee Marit Stiles and others came up with a master plan to re-landscape the property. The entire plan will cost more than $1 million and take years to accomplish.

It will begin this summer with a $200,000 starting budget from the board to create a common ground plaza at the St. Clair and Oakwood avenues corner, on the northeast edge of the school property. The plaza plan will remove the former fountain, which now has a sadlooking tree growing out of it; it will level the ground, and tables and benches, designed and built by Oakwood students, will be in-

stalled. The benches and tables will be made of wood from locally cut ash trees that were damaged by the Emerald Ash Borer infestation.

"It means that the curriculum in the school actually has some relevance because it’s being used in reality. It’s not a dummy run; it’s not just for a mark," said Meredith MacFarquhar, a member of Friends of Oakwood.

The Friends of Oakwood, comprised of six local women, is working with the school to raise funds for the improvements. The plaza project is being funded by the board, but to get the rest of the master plan completed sooner the community will need to pitch in financially, the Friends say.

Friends member Angela Van Damme, who has three young kids, says it will take a broader community to ensure the school is a place where parents want to send their children.

"I have a very vested interest in ensuring Oakwood’s long-term viability as an academic, musicbased, art-based, sport-based, diverse place for my kids and for this neighbourhood," she said.

The Friends of Oakwood, on front, Elizabeth Cinello (left), Angela Van Damme, Meredith MacFarquhar, Schuster Gindin, Jane Turrittin and Miria Ioannou (not pictured), are working with the school and the board to beautify the school’s grounds.

Besides the common ground, the master plan calls for moving the dilapidated, outdoor basketball court to face Oakwood and Rosemount avenues, to make it more inviting, plus it would get a new surface and hoops.

The no-dogs-allowed, fencedoff sports field would get additional entry points to prevent people letting their dogs run free inside, and spectator seating would be installed.

An outdoor performance space

with seating is planned in front of the school.

Raised flower beds, which students with disabilities will be able to use for gardening, would be installed.

All these projects will take time and money. The Friends are soliciting donations and are hosting several events in May to drum up support. Donations of $25 or more are eligible for tax receipts.
